Chapter 390, The History of Silence

The reason why Xiao Yan did not choose to bring Hannibal back to reality Shijie was because of the restriction that "the access location is also the pick-up location". It has just disappeared from the bustling streets of Paris, causing quite a stir to others, and it must still be waterlogged there, and now to go out, that is the real trouble.

Relatively speaking, the easier way is to enter the rhizome of the Shijie tree in France, and then walk along the rhizome to pick it up anywhere. After that, the sky is high and the birds are flying wide and the fish is jumping, and if you want to go back to Paris to see what Charlotte is going to do, you can use Xiao Yan's current appearance to return to Paris. If you want to go anywhere else, there are plenty of options.

Of course, Xiao Yan also checked the accounts just now, and most of the weapons entrusted to Reika Aizawa for sale had been sold. Excellent equipment This time, Xiao Yan had already signed the consent certificate in advance, so there was no phenomenon that the first piece of equipment was almost auctioned off.

An average piece of excellent equipment brought Xiao Yan about 8,100 gene points, and excellent equipment was much cheaper, but it also brought Xiao Yan a lot of benefits. Now Xiao Yan already has close to 120,000 gene points in his hands, and if he needs it, he can now upgrade to level 4. You must know that the gene point requirement for upgrading from level 3 to level 4 is only 50,004, and Xiao Yan can easily upgrade to level 4 and have additional wealth.

However, before that, Du Ruoxi and Sylvia had reminded him many times not to rush to level 4. Of the most difficult stages for the Awoken to get through, Levels 3 to 4 are the second most dangerous levels, after the Leap Stage from 9 to 10. From level 9 to level 10, the Advanced Awoken crossed over to the Legendary. The risks that can be encountered are significant. Just look at the ratio of Legends to the total number of Awakened to know. Legends aren't that easy to succeed in.

As for levels 3 to 4. It may sound like a simple level, but for the Trialist, it actually means transitioning from the Trials stage to the Awakened stage. After all, as long as you reach level 4, it is only a matter of time before you continue to climb up and accumulate 162,000 gene points.

However, in the process of leveling up from level 3 to level 4, there are also many trialists who cannot succeed. And this upgrade only has 1 chance, once it fails, although there is no danger to life. After all, the degree of genetic distortion that causes the ability mutation is not large, so there will be no gene chain shattering. However, this trialist can only be a level 3 trialist for the rest of his life.

Most of the thriving shops that Xiao Yan had seen in the rhizomes of the Shijie Tree in Huaxia were actually opened by such trialists who had lost the opportunity to move forward. As for Reika Aizawa, most of them are also such a trialist.

From level 3 to level 4, someone must be monitored, and preferably assisted by someone who is familiar with the process. At the beginning, Calristo and Laikaon were upgraded in the trial Shijie with the assistance of Cuckoo. And now that Xiao Yan didn't have a single level 4 trialist around him, in this case, Xiao Yan decided to follow what Sylvia and the others said. Don't rush in.

In any case, Xiao Yan has always maintained a relatively optimistic attitude towards the shijie around him. For Sylvia, Xiao Yan would not consider it from the worst perspective. This is very strange, in the trial shijie, the trialists guard against each other, but in reality, Xiao Yan absolutely believes it. Of course, if the new trial Shijie let him go with Laikaon and Calisto, most likely Xiao Yan would let down the vigilance in his heart.

The cranky thoughts soon stopped, and Hannibal, who was at Xiao Yan's feet, had already begun to move forward with Xiao Yan's pants. Gene points can be talked about later, Xiao Yan wants to stock up on a batch of healing potions, and also has to buy the manufacturing scrolls of energy potions, including other manufacturing scrolls of existing abilities, which will cost a lot of gene points. In addition, the third ability also needs to be prepared in advance, so as not to have an embarrassing situation where there is no ability to match.

Therefore, hundreds of thousands of gene points sound like a lot, and when you really need to spend it, it is still far from enough.

Xiao Yan was dragged by Hannibal, who was turned into a big dog with a head, and dragged two more steps, so that he had time to take a closer look at the shijie in front of him.

It is a huge hole of immense depth, and around the hollow, there are intricately carved patterns everywhere. Even Xiao Yan's feet are covered with this clear and beautiful pattern.

Among these patterns, there are a large number of flowers, branches and vines, and at first glance, it looks like you have come to a botanical garden carved by man. In addition to these intricate and dense plants, Xiao Yan could vaguely see the figures of some animals.

Compared to the plants, these animals are very much smaller. A thirteen-petaled flower that Xiao Yan can't scream can be the size of a tiger. Of course, this tiger could only see half of its body, it was blocked by this huge petal, cautiously poked its head out from behind the flower, and stared at Xiao Yan calmly from under Xiao Yan's feet.

As far as the eye can see, this long passage is full of such patterns. There were no humans, and there were no intelligent creatures similar to humans, as far as Xiao Yan's vision could see, there were dense plants everywhere, as well as various animals hiding behind the plants and quietly watching Xiao Yan.

None of the animals have carved the whole picture, but they are carved so vividly that they seem to be ready to jump out of the shadow of these plants. As for those carved plants, there is nothing to say, at least Xiao Yan can't imagine that there is anyone else in the real shijie who can make these carvings feel vivid.

It's not enough to be realistic, the sculptures in this passage are full of life. Any thing in this can be regarded as a rare treasure when it is put into reality. However, Xiao Yan felt that this passage was filled with a lifeless taste. Yes, the carvings are full of life, but that's about it. They are always just carvings, not real beings. The life of these creatures is carved, and the original appearance of those lives is restored in this passage, but the dead are always dead.

This huge carved botanical garden gave Xiao Yan the feeling of being like this at this time, it seemed to be full of vitality, but the silent environment made this vitality mixed with a heavy smell of corruption and death.

Xiao Yan took a few steps in this passage, and the slight sound under his feet made this passage a little smart, and when his changing gaze swept by, some animals that were originally standing still seemed to move. For example, a squirrel seems to hear the sound of Xiao Yan's movements, and struggles to drill into the depths of the plant. This gesture even fooled Hannibal's eyes, and he ran over with a roar, gouging the walls, only to realize that the squirrel in front of him was just a statue.

Looking at these, a sense of pathos slowly emerged in Xiao Yan's heart.

He could imagine how the beings who stayed in this passage wanted to make their shijie more colorful, and "they" even turned the entire rhizome of the shijie tree into such a garden. However, this approach is doomed to failure, and even if the entire passage becomes such a shijie, the life in the passage is not truly satisfied in the end.

This kind of pathos is also mixed with Xiao Yan's deep doubts. Here is the rhizome of the shijie tree, how could the shijie tree allow such a rhizome to exist. In Huaxia's rhizomes, even those rhizome passages that have not been used for hundreds of years, Xiao Yan has never seen such a lifeless shijie. The practice of deceiving oneself with carving is even more unheard of, and only those beings who are in despair and know that they will never be able to leave this passage will do so.

But there is an inexplicable contradiction, how can a life with such ability fall into despair in this rhizome if it can enter the rhizome of the Shijie tree and carve patterns on the inner wall of the rhizome that no modern human can do?

Unless this is not the rhizome of the Shijie Tree!

The thought that suddenly popped up in Xiao Yan's mind made his body tremble, this idea was indeed crazy, but Xiao Yan suddenly found that such an explanation was not completely unreasonable.

First of all, the Shijie Tree, as the name suggests, should be a large tree, and its rhizomes are all over Shijie, but what about its branches and leaves?

Second, the Lascaux cave paintings in France do indicate that traces of Asian horses could have been seen in the French border area 20,000 years ago, or even earlier. That means there is a mysterious passage connecting the French region. Now, however, the passage has disappeared.

If it is believed that this is the result of demonic devouring, then the Weishenme demon did not devour the rhizome from Vienna to Dublin, did not devour the rhizome from Italy, but only devoured the rhizome in France?

At this time, if you imagine the current passage as a branch of the Shijie Tree, you may be able to explain the two doubts above, including Xiao Yan's doubts just now.

A branch that fell from the Shijie Tree, and before that, this branch could also function as a rhizome.

At that time, hominids in the Lascaux region had seen the life that inhabited these branches. Think of the strange humans with the bodies of birds, maybe it's not a fantasy, it's a real thing.

As this branch falls off from the Shijie tree, for some reason, the life that stays in this branch simply can't leave. "They" carved exquisitely in this day-to-day despair, and then, together with this branch, were buried in the dust of history.

Due to the presence of this "dead" branch, the French awakened could not find the "living" Shijie tree rhizome, and even if there was such a rhizome, most of them would not be detected due to the cover of the branch.

This idea was very bold, and Xiao Yan decided to go to the end of the passage to see what the results were. If this passage is really made of a broken branch, then there must be an end, and there may be a suitable answer to everything at the end. (To be continued......)
